How do I pay taxes on Airbnb income?

Quick Answer

Most Airbnb income is reported on Schedule E as rental income. If average guest stay is under 7 days AND you provide substantial services like meals or daily cleaning, it is reclassified as a Schedule C business and owes 15.3% self-employment tax.
